Label backcolor not going transparent

Question

I've set a label's BackColor property to 'Transparent' in windows form but its just White? It's not going transparent?

Anyone know why this is happening?

Are you expecting that setting it transparent would have a see through effect ? well then that is not the case – Amu

someone else, I suppose, is set it to white. – Stomy

you want to hide lable or want to change colour of label? – Women

Answer 1

The label does not support transparency, you must create your own unique custom control, you can see these code examples.
